I just finished a week in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana with these boots. With multiple hikes from 15 to 19 miles/day, these boots worked great. I used to own heavier boots and decided to try these last year. I've done several weekend trips in them to break them in, but the BOB really put them to the test. We had snow for two days meaning sloppy trail. My feet stayed completely dry. My friends were in Keens and Lowas and were wearing ziplocs over their feet. I can't say enough good things about them. I have narrow feet and bought them to accommodate a liner plus wool hiking sock.

I've worn my Ahnu Mendocino hiking boots casually and on several hikes, but hadn't backpacked with them until last weekend. I wore them on a 22 mile three day backpack in the Rocky Mountains, with a 40 pound pack. They were the only boots/shoes I brought, so I had no backup.

They held up famously, kept dry in stream crossings, provided traction on rocks, and gave me enough stability and ankle support on steep descents and through skree and boulder fields. I really found myself appreciating how lightweight they are, yet as supportive and durable as I needed them to be. They weren't likely designed for this heavy use, but they worked great for me.

I had read that some people experienced sole separation issues - and I did to a minor extent as well. As I experienced some minor separation near the toe before my trek, I just cleaned that area and put on a little Seam Grip to re-glue. I honestly don't expect any product to be perfect, so to me a little preventive maintenance just makes sense.

I will buy other Ahnu products based on this experience. It's hard to beat lightweight yet supportive and stable.
